ABSTRACT:The custom of feeding a person sitting at one's table by placing a handful of sumptuous food in his or her mouth is a unique Ethiopian commensal practice, known as gursha The present article aims at eliciting and examining a plethora of associations regarding this convivial, hospitable practice. Based on a wide range of sources, it examines gursha as a dynamic canvas for a wide spectrum of social, historical, and religious associations. The article propose to conceptualize gursha as a "dominant gesture" that draws upon and combines secular and religious sentiments.

ABSTRACT:This article examines the topic of border crossings in terms of its everyday dimension in the light of the secession of Eritrea from Ethiopia in 1991. It focuses on interactions among the people who live on either side of the border. It seeks to understand how the transformation of the form and function of the border as a result of changes in the political landscape between the two countries has been experienced, defined, and understood by the inhabitants of the borderland in their everyday lives. The article is mediated through individual stories, in-depth interviews, ethnographic observation, media sources, and archival materials gathered from local and national archival centers in Eritrea during the summer of 2017. The findings reveal that the reactivation of the Eritrean–Ethiopian border had no effect not only on the preexisting social, cultural, and religious homogeneity among the people living across it, but also on everyday cross-border experiences and relations, and that the border and identity lines remained fluid and invisible. The border reconfiguration had brought only an enormous positive economic impact on the local people's lives because of their distinctive geopolitical advantages.

ABSTRACT:The "history" of the women of Eritrea is a composite of images and narratives that presents them as symbols of the land viewed through the lenses of colonial writers, anticolonial activists, and postcolonial nationalists. These portrayals have tended to deflect a deeper understanding of their lived histories, distorting their actual experiences under colonial rule (1890–1941), during the decolonization period (1941–51), and the era of Ethiopian rule (1952–91). In both the colonial and postcolonial periods, the images constructed by ruling elites mask the harsh realities of women's unmet aspirations of democratic citizenship, justice, and equality under the law, a tendency that has continued since the country's independence in 1993 through the palimpsestic gendered narratives of elites in the nation and diaspora. This article challenges these iconic remembrances to reconstruct the lived historical experiences of the multiethnic, multireligious, and multifaceted women of Eritrea.
